Well I had thought this post to be lost with everyone else's concerns, but I guess not.

@ Squa11_Leonhart: I highly doubt that anyone is going to stop mid-fight to check their latency with ping tests or other diagnostic tools they may have, whether out of concern of further taxing their system or worry that they might not be completely ready for everything to catch up when/if it does (and not just boot). Boss skill bars fly past, I barely notice them before reacting. This may just be an issue with systems and compatibility, but that's a completely different conversation.

@ Raist: Cheers for that, not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure SE's brains trust will put that info to good use.

@ Jaykos: I do play WoW, the difference in latency ratings was phenomenal when Blizz opened up servers in Sydney
